Episode 09/20/26 Blind Spots: Entitlement
Homily from the Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time.
God does not owe me anything.
Entitlement does not always look like entitlement. Sometimes, it simply feels like getting what we deserve. Whether it comes from pride or pain, we can believe that we are owed more. But grace is, by definition, an undeserved gift. The cure for entitlement is to stop asking what we are owed and to start asking what God has entrusted to us...and then receive it with gratitude.
